It was the promise that he could be negotiated to the left.

Instead Joe gave us a country producing the most oil and gas in world history, no movement on healthcare, etc.

The weather is going crazy because of the increase in fossil fuels Biden presided over.

He broke the deal that he could be brought left on economic/environmental/medical issues.

Kamala promised more of the same.

How can you expect anyone to trust the same deal from the VP that the P didn't make good on?

Joe didn't deliver, and Kamala didn't promise anything new.

Four more years of wildfire.

Ok, one side says it with actions, but the other says it with actions and words.

That sounds like one side being honest.

Drillin' Joe was sure acting like it was a hoax!

I voted Kamala, but I understand sitting out.

Yeah, given the choice between racism, mass deportations, mass incarcerations of trans people, and abuse of the office to punish his political opponents, and none of those things, I can definitely understand staying home too. They were really the same on all the other issues, and those are the ones that matter.

Look, the Democrats have to own this loss, for once, like they should have last time. It is clearly insufficient to try and frighten democratic supporters with a probability of fascism which we've never experienced before. It is clearly insufficient to abandon the working class as they have for so long. We should never fund or promote far right candidates in primaries. The media should not provide free coverage for outrage candidates to drive viewershop. It is clearly a mistake to try and court conservative voters, because hardly any have ever crossed over. It was certainly a mistake for Biden to run again, and then to drop out so late, far too late to have a primary.

Maybe the fact she is a minority woman turned people off. I don't know. It's a stupid reason not to run women, but that possibility exists.

But it damn sure isn't the only reason we lost.

I didn't want Biden either.

I don't know if y'all remember this, but the DNC decided to forgo a primary and forced Harris on us. When she ran in 2020 during the primary, she was so unpopular that she dropped out before any votes were cast.

Why did anyone ever think she would win? It's almost identical to when the DNC put Hilary up against Trump.

You can only fool me with this "lesser evil" bullshit so many times.

No you don't have to explain that. Biden has to explain that. Biden has to explain why he did so little, and even when he did good things, he and his colleagues did such a bad job of bragging about it that a lot of people didn't see.

Of course it's not just Biden, but you don't get to start off by blaming voters for being ignorant when in fact the president himself did a s***** job advertising.
